#1 Once is an accident... oh, wait, there were two. Well, three counting the Jan. 11 incident.

Seems a little crud for Mossad. Not that that means anything, necessarily. Hired help?

Local resistance group. My uniformed guess is one of the non-Persian ones, or the old-line Communists, who are still around somewhere, I think. Perhaps someone who actually knows what they're talking about could weigh in?

#3 I'm betting a Saudi-directed fraction of Jundallah.

The timing with the WikiLeaks Saudi document drop, combined with the usage of Cycles of Violence seem suggestive.

#4 I think I'd want to be very, very careful in my selection of a major if I was a university student in Iran. Engineering? Out. Computer science? Nope. Journalism? You've got to be kidding. Political science? Uh-uh. Maybe I just wouldn't go to university. Maybe I'd be a bricklayer. Or a busboy. Or a shoe salesman. Something safe.

#6 or the IRG might have suspected Professor Shahriari of installing the stuxnet or of having anti Mullah sympathy or of using the wrong salad dressing

Medieval Persian poetry. The girls love hearing it, and it could lead to a career in advertising or script writing later -- and all very safe, as the period in question was one of the good Muslim ones.

#9 Just to add a little fat to the gravy - from DEBKA, so salt to taste:

Prof. Majid Shahriari headed the team Iran trying to stop the Stuxnet virus

More details about the hit, including mention of early photos showing the cars riddled with bullet holes, here:
